When Train Takes a. Rest.

George Francis Train is about the
qucerest mortal that ever lived. 1t Is
more than likely that he is right when
he says he isn't mad. George Francis
sometimes sits down with friend and
talks about himself and his arryi1gs
on as nationally rs an actor talks aboss
his own performances OH the stage.
and with II good deal of the same study
of method and of the effects upon his
audience. At such times Train forgets
all about Psyche and his vow never to
talk TO q man. and gives one the Mn
preston that he is very clever actor
taking brief rest from the role which
he has chosen to play rs lifc-job.
When. ut such times, he drops Psyche
and. i'm so far rs poss bic. himself.

There Is no prettier ball dress for a

white or tinted, hemmed with cascades
OF soft lace and dots Of ribbon.
Felt, velvet and plush are the ap-
proved materials for winter bonnets,
with the odds in favor Of velvet, laid
80 smoothly and fitted so accurately

adays, and too many Of the imported
gowns look a. though they were born,
not made. so itifely aplopos Is each
